Author Introduction
Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie, Lady Mallowan, (15 September 1890 – 12 January 1976) was an English writer known for her 66 detective novels and 14 short story collections, particularly those revolving around fictional detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. She also wrote the world's longest-running play, the murder mystery The Mousetrap, which has been performed in the West End since 1952. A writer during the "Golden Age of Detective Fiction", Christie has been called the "Queen of Crime". She also wrote six novels under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott. In 1971, she was made a Dame (DBE) by Queen Elizabeth II for her contributions to literature. Guinness World Records lists Christie as the best-selling fiction writer of all time, her novels having sold more than two billion copies.
Blurb
Six short stories from the Queen of Crime, telling, amongst other things, of Pink Pearls and Sinister Strangers.
Bonus Feature: Includes an exclusive Q&A session between Hugh Fraser and David Brawn, Publishing Operations Director at HarperCollins.
Tommy and Tuppence Beresford were restless for adventure, so when they were asked to take over Blunt’s International Detective Agency, they leapt at the chance. After their triumphant recovery of a pink pearl, intriguing cases kept on coming their way: a stabbing on Sunningdale golf course; cryptic messages in the personal columns of newspapers; and even a box of poisoned chocolates.
My Opinion
Not one of Agatha Christie's Best Works
Partners In Crime by Agatha Christie is the second book in the Tommy and Tuppence Series. I do not think that the book is really one of the best of Agatha Christie. It consists of short stories, where each and every story is different. But, the plots are really not that interesting. I was expecting some dark tales behind the stories, but nothing interesting came out from them. If I talk about Tommy and Tuppence, then their characters do not portray like a true detective. Although, Tuppence is intelligent and dominates the story.
I would like to give 3 stars to the book. Thanks to agathachristie.com for providing me with an opportunity to be a part of the challenge.

I agree by the notion that it isn't one of the best of the works by the Queen of crime. I'm a big Agatha fan and usually fans like me didn't connect with T&T as much as we did with Hercule Poirot and Ms. Marple.
